HFM in adults, how long to heal?

Hands and feet feel like constant pins and needles and hard to bend fingers, round mouth looks disgusting. Sore throat now much better though. I am disgusting :(

If you have had it, how long did it take for blisters to go?

Poor you Sad DH had this, he was off work for 3 weeks I'm afraid, he was really quite poorly with it. It looked so sore Sad

What have you been given in the way of pain relief?

3 weeks?! Oh nooooo. :(

I have taken paracetamol and antihistamine, but online advice (apart from saying adults don't usually get HFM) says really you can only wait it out, and I am staying with my parents and nit registered with a doctor here anyway.

I took DH to the nearest walk in centre and they prescribed him cocodomol and something else. It definitely helped! He was in a lot of pain.
